Novel Radar System for covert surveillance wins award

National Instruments Engineering Impact Award

Example use-case of the system.

Novel Radar System useful for covert surveillance and traffic control better than MIT rival

Congratulations to Professor Karl Woodbridge, Dr Kevin Chetty and the UCL WiFi team who have won the National Instruments Engineering Impact Award in the RF and Communications category at the NI Week 2015 meeting held from 3-9th August in Austin, Texas. This follows on from their success last year in winning the UK NI award for their system for detecting the Doppler shifts of ubiquitous Wi-Fi and mobile telephone signals to “see” people moving, even behind masonry walls 25 centimeters thick. Examples in their category highlight how engineers are testing the RF/wireless capabilities of their products or developing next-generation algorithms for deployed wireless systems using a software-defined platform.

The 2015 Engineering Impact Awards received nearly 100 submissions from authors in more than 20 countries. A judging committee of NI technical experts reviewed the papers and selected the contest finalists and winners.
